Chapter 338

I lurch forward and press my fingers into Emily’s neck, thinking the

worst.

When I feel her pulse, I almost get dizzy with relief.

However, it’s weak and her skin feels clammy.

I reach up and push her hair off her pale face so I can see her more

clearly.

Her eyes are open, but staring dully, sightlessly at nothing.

“Emily!” I say, more loudly this time, trying to jolt her out of

whatever this is.

When that doesn’t work, I try saying her name again, even louder,

and give her shoulders a gentle shake.

She doesn’t respond, remaining limp and listless beneath my

hands.

Has she gone into some kind of catatonic state?

But why?

She was furious when I left her, not scared.
